Then on Tuesday, they found out his replacement, Caleb Folan, also will miss time to injury. Folan underwent an MRI exam on Monday, and on Tuesday the results showed he has a mild strain of the right groin, the team said.

Folan will miss one to two weeks.

But there’s good news for Colorado. Conor Casey, who has been out of the Rapids lineup for the past six games with a left hamstring strain, had his status upgraded to probable for Saturday’s game at D.C. United.

Daniel was first introduced to soccer at age 6 while living in Düsseldorf, West Germany. He played youth soccer in West Germany until age 9, and then in Seattle, where he is originally from. He works as the day breaking news editor and also contributes on the Rapids beat.
